Foulds is a trusted patent counselor to life sciences companies, bringing a decade of scientific research experience and firsthand startup experience to every client relationship. With 15 years of patent prosecution experience, he counsels biotech and pharmaceutical clients on patent preparation and prosecution, portfolio strategy, and IP diligence for small molecules, peptide therapeutics, biologics, and platform technologies.
Mitrani counsels companies across artificial intelligence and machine learning, software as a service, consumer technology, and media on technology transactions and IP matters.
Moulins represents technology and life sciences innovators in strategically sensitive disputes, with a focus on each company’s business goals. His clients include leading companies in the AI space, whom he advises on emerging legal risks and defends in high-stakes litigation.
